to think it's rude for a workman to turn up and immediately ask to use customers toilet?

[no5hit]

Had a guy come to fix a faulty window today. This person was a complete stranger. First thing he says to me is "Can I use your loo". He then proceeds to spend 10 mins in the toilet having a stinky shit. I found this really rude. I understand he may need the toilet but there are cafes and restaurants nearby and he could have gone at work before he came to me!

YABVVVVU!!! When you’ve got to go you’ve got to go!!!

Yab v u. I am a job where I visit people in their own homes. I try hard to use other loos (supermarkets are usually good) but sometimes I really do need a wee!! Think about how you'd feel if you couldn't access a loo at work.

At least he didn't shit on your doorstep!

FGS
Just leave out some air freshener and stuff to squirt down the loo. If you spent the whole day going around in a van fixing stuff you may well need the loo. I use the loo during the working day, why would you expect someone not to?? I find all the angst about this so odd. Most people's poo smells. The way some people talk about this, they must have chanel scented bowels!

I know first hand workmen tend to eat a fair bit and lots of it junk, during the day. It goes straight through them

Most people don't use other peoples toilets or even public ones.
They wait until they get home and use their own.

This is not true. Someone has lied to you, and you have been unobservant enough to believe it.

No. You, and maybe some of your friends/family wait until they get home, and you think that you = everyone.
I use the closest toilet to wherever I happen to be when I need the toilet.

JoeMaplin supermarkets are a great idea, thanks. Garden centres also good

YABU.

It's a toilet. He is using it for its designed purpose.

I wouldn't have a problem. If he needs to go then he needs to go. Invest in some air freshener and stop complaining.

So he's supposed to go and do a dump in a cafe and leave them to deal with it, or hold it in for potentially 8+ hours? Hardly fair.

No, it isn't pleasant but if he cleans up after himself as much as is feasible, doesn't piss everywhere etc then yes, yabu.

Definitely isn't the case at my work loos, which is fine. I'll hold it in where possible but if I'm desperate I'm not holding in a crap for up to 11 hours, sorry.

It's a toilet. It's what they're for. Are you still in nappies or are just a complete cow?

People need to be able to use a bathroom at work, I don't see the issue we all poop.

‘Just fuck off and do it somewhere else you foul pig’

Hopefully one day someone will shit on your pillow for being so fucking intolerant.**

He could have gone at work?

You are his work.

Btw I work as office manager in a building/maintenance company - occasionally (when my lads are not on jobs) they might come in and dare to use the toilet - I can guarantee a workman’s shit smells no worse than yours - minus the smell of the bunch of roses you’ve got wedged up your arsehole.

Well if someone who has a bowel movement is a foul pig then there are billions of foul pigs on this planet including those who think their own shite doesn't stink

I would think it a bit off if it was an 8am appointment, but not in the middle of the day.

Definite air of snobbery on this thread.... everybody shits... everyone's shit smells... what's the issue!!!?

Another vote for it is disgusting when a workman comes into do something in your house and then shits in your toilet. Absolutely revolting and unprofessional. I don't care where he shits so long as it is not anywhere near my house.

Good point Freddie. Thing is some folk think their dumps smell like dahlias

Absolutely revolting and unprofessional.

I'm not aware that being (un)able to time your bowel movements is an indicator of professionalism.

Tell him to shit in the garden next time op

Are tradespeople not allowed to use the loo then in case they have a shit?

Where do you draw the line? DCs had some friends over recently. DSs friend left an almightly stinkbomb in our bathroom. Should I stop his best mate in future in case he can't hold himself for half an hour?

Do those who think theres some sort of system as to who can poo or who can't know even the Queen shits?

It's a bodily function, and waste. I've yet to come across nice smelling waste.
